It's only a fever dream--
hush
hush
slide back down
in the dark and warm
hot, wet wringing
sheets
slip inbetween
skin crackling
are you breaking apart
splitting at the seams?
hush
it's only a fever dream
brain boiling
merrily along
humming of
angel insects
chugging snuffling huffing
what's rubbing
your feet?
slouching toward a
creaking
headboard--
hush
it's only a fever dream
push it under again
tangle of tentacle
wrap a meatier bone
grip it
tighter now,
sideswipe!
there's a slug trail
on your lip & you are
choking
choking
bite down hard,
damn you--
something filling up
your swollen throat
to
make
you
hush
hush
go under again
it's only a fever dream.
